Youth May Plead To Track Theft
Mabscott youth Jesse E. Smith agrees to plead guilty to a Raleigh County vehicle theft if indicted in Fayette County with concurrent sentences. A prior Raleigh County case ended in a hung verdict for stealing a liquor truck on Prince Street. Smith was later taken into custody in Raleigh County on a car theft charge in Mt. Hope owned by C S Box. If Fayette County returns no indictment, he will stand trial in Raleigh County. Indictments in Fayette were expected after grand jury testimony by Sgt A Scalise and defense by C R Harless arguing mental incompetence.
